Hyrule
In the beginning, there was nothing. Cosmic dust whirled through the universe, and life had not yet begun. Then, there was a star. In this one star was the power of the entire universe. And using some of its power, the land of Hyrule was made. But, since no one knew of this great power, it was forgotten, left to float in the cosmos forever...

It was just another plain day in Hyrule. Bright sun, good weather, typical. And boring. Link walked through the forest, innocently looking for something to do. He was only ten, still a child. But, soon it would be time for his first quest. For every boy went on his first quest on his eleventh birthday. And Link's birthday was next week.
Link walked solemnly through the forest, bored beyond belief. That was when he came upon a strange tree. Link didn't think he had ever seen the gigantic tree before, and he had explored the forest ever since he could walk. The tree had a cave that was just large enough to walk into, so Link decided to go in.
The cave in the tree had an eerie blue glow to it. The light made Link able to see the weird carvings on the inside of the tree.
Link: What is this?
Link saw what looked like the night sky carved into the tree. The picture showed a glowing orb among the stars that looked faintly like a triangle. The pictures showed the glowing triangle slowly making its way towards the land of Hyrule. That was where the pictures ended, and some strange language was carved into the tree. Link reached up to touch the foreign language, and images suddenly flashed through his head. None of them were clear, and they went by too fast for him to remember. So, being the carefree child that he was, he walked out of the cave and forgot all about the images that held the secrets of the beginning of Hyrule.
Family: Happy birthday dear Li-nk...happy birthday to you!
It was Link's eleventh birthday, the most important day of a boy's life in Hyrule. This was the day he would go on his first quest to become a great warrior of Hyrule. It was every boy's dream to become a great warrior to serve the Royal Family of Hyrule. The most prominent warrior and personal consultant of the Royal Family was Ganondorf. Every man wanted to be just like Ganondorf. He was the single person the Royal Family trusted the most.
Grandpa: Link, since it's your first quest, I want you to have these gifts from me and the rest of the family.
Link was handed a brown paper package that was tied with white string. Everyone in his family looked at him expectantly. Link unwrapped the present and found a real sword and a set or armor.
Link: wow!
Grandpa: I thought you would like it. One day, your great-great grandfather was walking through that very forest that you walk through every day. He said he came across a tree with a cave that emitted a strange blue light. Inside this cave, he claimed to have found this sword and armor. It has been passed down from generation to generation and now it is yours. I'm sure your father would have given it to you if he did not have to work today.
Link: Thank you Grandpa, everyone. I promise to take very good care of this sword.
Grandpa helped Link put on his new sword and adjust his armor. Link drew the sword and found something strange. There wasn't a scratch on the thing. And, for that matter, there wasn't a single nick in the armor either.
Link: Grandpa? Has no one ever used these things before? There are no scratches on them.
Grandpa: That's what's strange Link. No matter how much you ancestors used this armor and that sword, they never got scratched or nicked. Some say the things are enchanted. I say it's just good luck. Now, no more talking. Your grandmother has prepared you a sack of food and some new clothes. Go change, and then we'll see you of!
So, Link excitedly donned the garb of the beginner swordsman, and the future Hero of Legend set out on his first quest.
